thanks for the reply rhaichard,,,yes,it's already on my list to include my old passport.I'm only the dependant,no kids yet,so he only needs to show 18,600 minimum annual gross income.
Didn't u pass any docs for proof of relationship when u applied like chat logs,emails or screen shots?

[chieldave]

hmm,I've just read it somewhere here about that appendix form 2 leen,was bit not sure as I only thought than only VAF4A form need to fill-up,thanks for clarifying it.ok I will tell hubby to put his signature with his scanned passport pages...I may send you private message for more needed help leen as u just got your visa and rhaichard as well...thanks again

[rhaichard]

no i didnt pass chat logs or emails .. i only sent to them is our picture together here in the uk and in the philippines ... prove that we have are met each other after every 2 or 3 months that we are away since we know each other ... i think marriage certificate and pictures is enough to prove that you and your husband have a relationship ..


yes you need to pass the docs proving that ur husband earned 18,600pounds per annum ...

about appendix 2 form , you need to fill that by hand / hand writing ...

[chieldave]

no i didnt pass chat logs or emails .. i only sent to them is our picture together here in the uk and in the philippines prove that we have are met each other after every 2 or 3 months that we are away since we know each other

I see,that is firmer evidence

about appendix 2 form , you need to fill that by hand / hand writing

oops,didn't aware of that,thought it's same with the main form that I'll fill in up in comp the answer then print it together..seems I need to read more the instructions..thanks for that rhaichard


Guys,how about our sponsor letter?what can u say on it,you think it's not long writing with lots of unnecessarily info's?do we need to cut some ?is it ok that we'll just put subtitles before the paragraphs so they can see quickly which portion they want to read and know?

thanks advance

[rhaichard]

your letter is fine i think ... when my hubby make sponsor he only write is the summary lol ... because my hubby is lazy ..


print the appendix form and then u fill it up

[Rory]

I always wondered if it was best to type and print out the covering letter or hand write it, what have most of you done?

[chieldave]

your letter is fine i think ... when my hubby make sponsor he only write is the summary lol ... because my hubby is lazy

thank rhaichard,just bit worried if ECO will ever get bored with the this long writing,but this is all true and wanted them to know it well...

ok I will ,thanks girl

[chieldave]

I always wondered if it was best to type and print out the covering letter or hand write it, what have most of you done?

was thinking of writing it before as thought that it has more personal attachment,but read few here that they just type and print then they sign it above printed name,,,maybe that 's we plan to do ....anymore suggestion folks?
Goodluck on your application Rory,think we'll next to you as we plan to pass ours by 2nd week of Nov

[smileyangel]

I'm just thinking, did you already pay your visa application? If yes, in what way?
Goodluck with your spouse visa application.

they're not going to accept ur documents and application if u didnt show the UNION BANK receipt ..


so u need to pay first before u go to VFS take note that ur bank receipt from UNION BANK is only valid for 1 week

Me and my wife are going to submit our documents at around the same time. My supporting documents are almost identical to yours but I kept my letter much shorter (I don't know if thats a good thing or not), but at least you gave each section a title so they can decide wethe or not they want to read it.
I haven't signed my passport copy, but I did getit certified by a solicitor (as well as drivers licence copy and house deeds).
I wish you good luck.

Guess almost all docs to be passed are almost same with what others too esp if it same kind of visa to apply,so no wonder it's almost identical....we tried to do more edit of our letter to make it shorter,but since still bit long so that's why we decided to put titles above each paragraph.I think as long as you put all the necessary details and additional info/explanation that you think it helps to understand the situation more by the ECO,there's nothing wrong with it.Been one year since his last visit here,so we just feel that we have to fill in the holes that ECO might see or think negatively....
Are you on mortgage house Ian?did you get just an email copy from land registrar as well then you let it certified by solicitor?
Thank you Ian,,you too and to your wifey wishing/praying for positive result as well

[smileyangel]

Didn't yet pass my application till 2nd week of Nov smileyangel so haven't yet paid my application as well...thank you

That's alright then, because I thought you paid it already and yet to submit it on 11th of November as I know bank receipt is only valid for 10 days from the date of payment. Goodluck with your application chieldave!

My house is mortgaged but all title deeds are kept electronically now and you need to get them from here: http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/ The mortgage lenders nolonger keep a paper copy. You have to pay a small fee to get a copy (about 6 quid I think) and then you can get it certified by a solicitor (not sure if this is nececary but better safe than sorry)
